MPs to revisit radicalisation

Official efforts to tackle extremism and combat Islamist radicalisation are to be examined as part of a new parliamentary inquiry into terrorism.

The Home Affairs Select Committee is to launch the inquiry in July. It paves the way for Theresa May, the Home Secretary, and other Home Office figures to be called to defend their strategy for tackling radicalisation.

Members of the committee had agreed to revisit the issue of terrorism before the murder of the soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich, but its investigation will now take on even greater significance.
